\n
Long time ago I took part in course\u00a0Learning How to Learn<\/a>. I’ve remember one idea, that become handy to my work. Yet, <\/span>not many<\/span><\/strong> heard about it.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n
Our mind works in two modes<\/strong>: focus and diffuse. Focus means concentration<\/strong>, <\/span>flow state<\/a>. Diffuse is opposite: relax<\/strong>, unconscious background working, when we take a break.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
For what it could help us?\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
It turns out, that too much focus<\/strong> on some work, not only makes us exhausted. It’s also make us unproductive. When we focusing too much our scope shrink. We see less and less clear.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And when we take a break, our mind still unconscious working<\/strong>. It turns to diffuse mode. Our scope enlarging. See more and more. It’s time, when many good ideas pop to our heads.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
To effective solve problems<\/a> we should mix these two<\/strong> states <\/span>frequently<\/span><\/strong>. This brings us to pomodoro technique<\/a>. 25 min of focus mode work. Then 5 min of break to diffuse. And repeating<\/strong> this.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This way we are super effective<\/strong>. I’m saved from over think because of running time. I’ve got breaks to do some unconscious work. Open to new ideas, that popping to my head.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
More of that. I observe that I’m super creative when in break I meditate<\/a>. I’m working on some problem. Focus for 25 min. Often feel happy flow state. Than take break. 5 or 15 min. Meditate. Silence thoughts. See new possibilities emerging from nothing in my head. Just catch them with notes. I wasn’t aware of them when I <\/span>was focused<\/span><\/span>. Happy with new ideas I trying them out on new 25 min focused pomodoro.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Repeating this flow over and over through day.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This is my secret of productivity<\/strong>. Focused hard work flow. Diffused creative meditation. Repeat until you find solution. And you find it hyperfast. Because you both creative & hard-working. And it’s still fun!<\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
